Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i switched(dualbooted) few days ago and its been great.

i got nvidia drivers to work pretty easily with ubuntu handling it for me

brave feels faster on ubuntu than windows 11,i got all my pirated games to work with Faugus Launcher.

i got mcontrolcenter as replacement to msi dragon center and it works good.

i got mongohud(or whatever its named) to work in games so i can see the fps.

i customized my grub look and made it look better.

and i overall love how ubuntu feels and looks,and im comfortable with it. i will stay with linux.

edit:

i had some issues with it but they were easily solved after i searched and used ai for help. like mcontrolcenter needing to have some lines edited then recompiled and installed. stuff like that. im also trying to figure out why 60fps videos on yt framedrop to solve it. it did on windows until i made the whole browser run using gpu. so im sure i will find a way to solve it. any tips welcome

Can people not be needlessly judgmental towards new users? Its so rude

becuse no one told about alternatives:
Waterfox/Librewolf + uBlock + my addons + whatever other addons i like

They are like Firefox but stripped off mozillas bs to something thats cleaner. And because they are based on Firefox (Gecke engine) they also support manifest v2 and all the really good adblockers (i mean uBlock)

I prefer Firefox and Zen Browser, but hey, if it works, it works.

Brave's been making, uh, some controversial philosophical design choices lately.

I mean, they had some before, but now they also have a few more lately that have riled people up a bit.

Such as? Is there an article on this or something?

I've been using brave since like 2018 and haven't been following any media on it.
